My Singapore is ready to celebrate its nation 43rd birthday. A lot of building had adorned the national flag at their premises. Housing estates were decorated with flags. Flat owner had hung the Singapore flag too. Wah so patriotic my fellow Singaporean.
Some private car owners also puts a small flag on the front glass panel of their car. Taxis had sticker and also flag hanging on their car panel.
At the venue for the National Day Parade, Marina Bay Waterfront, it was well decorated with props for the parade itself. National television had been telecasted the parade rehearsal to remind Singaporean of the Live Telecast of the Parade on National Day itself. Shopping centres had been playing some of the songs that normally being sung during the Parade beside our National Anthem - Majulah Singapura.
I'm proud for being a Singaporean and thank God for letting me to be born here in Singapore.
One People, One Nation, One Singapore.

Races Group in Singapore
Hi There!
Singapore has multi races of people living here. Majority are Chinese. Follows by Malay, Indian and some Eurasian. With Singapore accepting more and more foreigner to be a Permanent resident, it is very common nowadays to find Filipinos, Indian of India origin or Chinese from China origin as part of the community.
With the diversitiy of the races, Singapore culture had been a unique one that all these races can be living in this little beautiful island as a one nation peacefully. Beside culture, each and everyone of the ethnic group had their own festivities and dishes that they particularly proud off.
The Singapore's Chinese will celebrate Chinese New Year which follows the Lunar Calendar. The Singapore's Malays have Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Hari Raya Puasa to celebrate after a month of successful Ramadan (or fasting month). The Singapore's Indian will celebrate their festival of Light or Deepavali. The Singapore's Eurasian of course will then celebrate the joy of Christmas together with the world. All this major days for the four major ethnic group in Singapore are declared as public holidays in Singapore. This is because each races can then celebrate with their neighbours and friends on those special day. Thus, this will lead to better understanding of other races and living harmoniously in our beautiful island of Singapore.
Oh! by the way, there are other public holiday in Singapore too that some part of the world celebrate like Good Friday, Vesak Day, Hari Raya Haji and Labour Day.

Everything My Singapore
Welcome to my blog.
Singapore is my homeland. Its is an island with a various ethnic group of races living in this island full of greenary.
In this blog, I would like to share the Singapore activities, happenings, current affairs, life as it is daily and whatever that I would like to share to the world.
Singapore was declared independent on 9 August 1965. This year Singapore will be celebrating her 43rd birthday. This day is declare as Public Holiday so that all Singaporean could celebrate it with the nation.
Singapore was not known to the world almost 10 years ago. People from other continents beside the Asia Pacific region, think that Singapore is a small part of China. With the internet and also with the effort of our goverment, Singapore has become a world no 1 in so many things. Kudos to the Goverment.
Singapore current Prime Minister is Mr Lee Hsien Loong. Under his leadership and the previous Prime Ministers namely Mr Lee Kuan Yue and Mr Goh Chok Tong, Singapore had progressively been successful and well known to the world.
My blog is not to talk about politics nor comment on the leadership of the goverment. I had no intention of that. It will be a blog to share about everything that we Singaporean had the privilege to enjoy in my beloved country Singapore.
